UPDATE 23RD JANUARY: Whatever Heart of Thorns is, and I suspect it's an expansion, will probably be announced during the Guild Wars 2 PAX South bonanza tomorrow - conference is a such boring word. This kicks off 4.30PM GMT and you can watch it via the embedded Twitch stream below.

From the PAX South site: "Join ArenaNet president and co-founder Mike O'Brien and Guild Wars 2 game director Colin Johanson for an exclusive sneak peek at what's next in Guild Wars 2 and be among the first to hear how we're setting up a new framework for how an MMO can grow its universe. The Living World was just the beginning."

There's a logo:

Guild Wars 1 had a handful of expansions but so far Guild Wars 2 has relied on regular content drops via a Living World plan to enlarge the game, as well as the occasional bumper feature patch.

What could an expansion bring? New professions/classes? New areas? Big new gameplay features? What would you like?
